    4 Raiding the archive: film festivals and the revival of Classic Hollywood Julian Stringer History becomes heritage in various ways. Artifacts become appropriated by particular historical agendas, by particular ideologies of preservation, by specific versions of public history, and by particular values about exhibition, design, and display. (Arjun Appadurai and Carol A. Breckenridge)1 Film Studies has to date paid too little attention to the role cultural institutions play in the transformation of cinema history into heritage. At the dawn of cinema’s second century, a range of organisational bodies – including museums and art galleries, the publicity and promotion industries, film journalism and publishing, as well as the academy – work to activate and commodify memory narratives concerning the movies’ own glorious and fondly recalled past. Such bodies serve different kinds of agendas, broadly identifiable as the commercial, the cultural and the educational (or a combination thereof). However, all help determine the specific shape of current thinking regarding cinema’s past, present and future. At a time when more films than ever before are being exhibited on a greater number of different kinds of screens than ever before, the cumulative effect of all this institutional activity is to create consen- sus around which films should be remembered and which forgotten. With so many ‘old’ and contemporary titles jockeying for position at the multiplex and the art cinema, on television and cable, video, DVD and the Internet, as well as in the classroom, the relatively small number of titles eventually sold, projected, written about, taught or revived, will be largely confined to those legitimised for one reason or another by these different kinds of organisational bodies.

  • Channing Pollock
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From The American Stage: Writing on Theater from Washington Irving to Tony Kushner , edited by Laurence Senelick (The Library of America, 2010 ), pages 212 –225 . Reprinted from The Footlights: Fore and Aft (1911 ). CHANNING POLLOCK Channing Pollock ( 1880 –1946 ) was the all-purpose Broadway facto - tum. He served his apprenticeship as dramatic critic of The Washing - ton Post in 1898 , before becoming a press agent for the managers William A. Brady and the Shuberts. Without any sense of conflict of interest, he regularly reviewed plays for several publications, including The Smart Set and The Green Book , often biting the hands that had fed him. He also promoted his own works for the stage, including a dramatization of Frank Norris’s The Pit . Pollock contributed sketches to three versions of the Ziegfeld Follies (1911 , 1915 , and 1921 ), compos - ing the English lyrics for “My Man,” Fanny Brice’s rendition of the French torch song “Mon Homme.” His sanctimonious anti-war play The Fool was a popular if not a critical success in 1924 , but his dramatic career was dealt a lethal blow in 1931 when Dorothy Parker wrote of his latest effort: “ The House Beautiful is the play lousy.” Pollock’s am - ple store of stage lore is illustrated in his essay “Stage Struck,” from his collection The Footlights Fore and Aft (1911 ), which indicates just how popular the theatre as a profession and how widespread the con - cept of “stardom” had become since the days of Anna Cora Mowatt. Stage Struck Being a diagnosis of the disease, and a description of its symptoms, which has the rare medical merit of attempting a cure at the same time.

  • Temporality and Duration in the Films of Abel Gance Paul Cuff1
    The Cinema as Time Machine: Temporality and Duration in the Films of Abel Gance Paul Cuff1 Abel Gance seemed to warp peoples’ perception of time, just as his work embodied the durational extremes of cinema. On the one hand, he was “an apostle in cinema’s Middle Ages” (Cinéa, 1 September 1923) – a builder of vast celluloid edifices that stretched over multi- ple hours and took days or weeks to project. Contemplating these films, Jacques Thévenet felt the same sense of “wonderment” as he did when standing before a gothic cathedral (Comœdia, 25 December 1922); religious images were often used about creator and creations. “Abel Gance is becoming God”, the arts columnist Bing remarked: “At his command, light is let loose and a world is fashioned according to his will.” To encounter the filmmaker was to fall out of step with time. His Paris apartment was saturated in Renaissance décor and visitors were transfixed by Gance’s “misty eyes, lost in a luminous dream” and his “long, flowing hair which seems to flutter in the breath of some distant chimera” (Fantasio, 1 December 1930). Yet, at the other end of this experiential scale was the modernist freneticism of Gance’s editing, which could accelerate to the rate of one frame per shot – the filmstrip’s maximum unitary velocity. While this revo- lutionary technique was deeply influential on other directors, satirists joked that it caused “neuralgia and nervous fits” among inno- cent spectators (Cyrano, 26 February 1928). Critics likewise deemed Gance a “barbarous” artisan who “irritates and exhausts us with [his] virtuosity” and “the ceaseless movement of [his] images” (Bardèche and Brasillach 1935, 242-3).
